Pros

Good benefits package (US); unique enterprise software solutions; great customer footprint; many internal opportunities (although limited to lower career levels)

Cons

Company has grown too big; countless acquisitions (to increase cloud revenue) have taken a toll on customers and employees (loss of core values and culture); senior executives from “outside” (Mala Anand) with very limited SAP product/industry experience; unclear/missed cloud strategy leading to mass layoffs

Pros

The people at SAP are genuinely nice, and the culture is generally supportive. The work-life balance is good to an extent, but when you're busy, you're BUSY. SAP is highly complex so expect to take a year to ramp up.

Cons

Only way to get a high salary is if you're hired externally. They do not reward employees who are loyal to the company. Closed opportunities often have to go through the Compensation Exception Committee, creating uncertainty around earnings. Prepare for constant change, whether that's solutions being removed from your sales bag, account shifts, territory realignments, or changing compensation policies. Quotas can be difficult to attain
